Run Windows 7 in iPad
At the time iPad was announced I tweeted that it would be cool if one could use Windows 7 in iPad. It seems my wish was answered.
Citrix Systems, an American multinational corporation with a focus on software and services specialized in virtualization for delivering applications over a network and the internet.
Did you notice the last line? – over a network – Windows 7 will not/cannot be installed in iPad, it will run from a server and will be simply displayed on iPad.
This is done via the citrix system’s desktop virtualization platform XenDextop or XenApp.
According to Chris Fleck, the company’s vice president of Community and Solutions Development, any windows application will run unmodified and securely in data center and you’d be able to multitask also.
I suspect there will be loss of performance because all the "over the network" and "virtualization" thing.
For now lets wait and see how things shape up.
